Chapter 948: Chapter 399 Demon God’s Curse, Exchanging for a Large Amount of Resources_2
The figure shrouded in the ocean of demon gas nodded slightly.
Wanting to curse a ‘Person’ through the void was not so simple, even if Diorus was a Demon God Level powerhouse, he had to use the causation from a previous encounter with Jack Clark as a price to burn, and subsequently employ a forbidden weapon crafted by a demon god proficient in the laws of cursing to launch a precise curse.
Furthermore, at the instant the curse was initiated, a backlash from the causation would also form an attack of the same level.
……
At Heavenly Abyss City, inside the Cultivation Room, Jack Clark sat cross-legged.
One day after returning, the aura on Jack Clark’s body had stabilized and returned to normal, for unlike those kings who had burned their origins, what he had depleted was only his True Strength and Qi Blood.
As for the price of summoning the heavily powerful Thunderflame Demon Dragon True Body for an extended period… Jack Clark lowered his head slightly and looked at his left hand.
Centered around the Time-Space Mark on the back of his hand, a series of wave-like silver lines spread, entwining his entire arm.
Simultaneously, a row of transparent text emerged before Jack Clark’s eyes.
“Abnormal state of time erosion, stemming from the backlash of summoning the Giant Beast Avatar beyond normal limits. Each subsequent use of the Time-Space Mark will deepen the erosion marks.”
“Alert! When the marks of time erosion accumulate to a certain extent, it will attract the attention of life forms that feed on time. Please use caution.”
“Life forms that feed on time.” A grave look appeared in Jack Clark’s eyes.
Time belongs to a conceptual kind of power, existing but not clearly perceptible, influencing and measured only through the power it exerts.
Even in the vast expanse of the mythical world, transcendent life forms related to time are extremely rare; so far, Jack Clark knew only of the Giant Beast Candle Dragon and Scythia’s father.
He had not expected that life forms that fed on time existed and could only imagine how dangerous they must be.
It seems that in the future, he would need to be more cautious when using the summoning secret skill. Jack Clark thought gravely.
He certainly did not want to be suddenly swallowed by some unknown powerful creature one day, potentially getting lost forever in the endless space-time, even if he were not to die.
As Jack Clark contemplated, suddenly a black mark appeared on his brow, and his Heart’s Eye sixth sense detected an intense sense of danger—very dangerous, an acute peril.
In an instant, Jack Clark was startled.
Boom! An aura of terrifying will burst forth from Jack Clark, sweeping across several kilometers, but to his shock, he detected nothing.
But at that moment, Jack Clark’s consciousness sunk into a daze and he found himself in a pitch-black and distant void, where a towering figure with three heads and twelve arms stood tall, reaching ten thousand meters in height.
This formidable being appeared to overshadow the world like a deity, standing in the void, surrounded by a dark red glow that intertwined to evolve into a real existing hell.
When Jack Clark’s figure emerged, a massive, boundless black beast head appeared in front of the towering figure and silently opened wide to devour him.
Boom! Inside the Cultivation Room, Jack Clark’s consciousness vibrated, and he instantly regained clarity, his face turning white as he gasped for breath.
Crack! A cracking sound came from Jack Clark’s chest, and the True King Beast Seal worn around his neck, shaped like a beast head, started to show a network of cracks.
Bang!
The True King Beast Seal exploded suddenly, turning into a powerful surge of energy mixed with a blast of black smoke, sweeping across the entire Cultivation Room. Amidst the blowing wind, Jack Clark’s hair fluttered and his face grew pale.
He had just been hit with a curse. Had it not been for the True King Beast Seal provided by the Third Councilor, he would have been killed by the curse woven from causation by his opponent.
It was no wonder the Purgatory Family had so many methods at their disposal.
That Jack Clark might be cursed was something the supreme experts of the Human Race had anticipated long ago and had provided all-around protection for him, or else there could have been a real possibility of mishap, which even if not fatal, could have resulted in severe injury.
“Purgatory True Demon.”
Jack Clark’s expression was cold as he vanished in the blink of an eye, transforming into a streak of light that passed through several security checks to arrive at the Logistics Department of Heavenly Abyss City.
Choosing a room of over ten square meters, completely empty, Jack Clark said solemnly, “Vava, bring up my information.”
Hum!
Ripples flowed across the front wall, revealing Jack Clark’s detailed information. His rank had been promoted from Major General to General, and his merit had increased to over 800,000.
In this Civilization Great War, Jack Clark slaughtered a large number of high-order members of the Purgatory Demon Race, including the Legion commanders of the Nine Demonic Marks and even a few demon kings in direct confrontation.
For example, the Mid-Myth Dark Giant Beast, the demon king killed by the orbital bombardment, and another Late-Myth demon king that he later crushed to death with his bare hands.
Besides, during the clash at the center of the battlefield, he severely injured several other demon kings including the Crimson Giant Beast, and captured an Early-Myth demon king to feed to Number One.
He also heavily wounded Great Demon King Barus and another Great Demon King Jimtor; though he did not kill them, he still inflicted damage on the enemy.
All things counted, the merit settlement awarded him 810,000 points as a reward, equivalent to the heads of eight demon kings.
Such an enormous amount of merit was enough for Jack Clark to exchange Life Crystals to enhance all the talents of the Thunderflame Demon Dragon to God Transformation Level, and the remainder was more than enough to exchange for the God-level resources needed for cultivation.
And yet, Jack Clark’s original target in this battle was simply to rampage through the Transcendent battlefield, slaughtering dozens or hundreds of the high-order Demon Race, pretending to kill a few ordinary demon kings would suffice.
He did not expect the battle to become so fierce.
While this time Jack Clark’s gain in merit seems astonishing, his losses are also substantial. For instance, the time erosion marks entwined around his arm, and the two Rule-level life-saving forbidden weapons.
Especially those two forbidden weapons, capable of withstanding a blow from a Demon God and carrying Rule-level curses. Their value, in some respects, might be higher than the merit Jack Clark gained this time.
Thinking of this, Jack Clark couldn’t help but give a wry smile—it was a matter of give and take.
Even though he lost two Rule-level forbidden weapons this time, the Demon God also suffered significant losses.
For Supreme Experts, losing an arm is not a minor injury.
The True Body of a king-level being can recover by consuming the Laws’ Origin, and the Heavenly King is even transformed into rules, formless in gathering and dispersing. But once at the Supreme Level, the True Body becomes extremely important again.
The difference is akin to that between Soul Power and Soul Source, it relates to the hope of advancing further into Demon God Level, which is why the four Supreme Demon God Level beings engaged in a rule-dominated battle at that time.
Demon God Carthius was enraged because his True Body of the Demon God was cracked by the True Martial Stone Tablet and the Demonic God’s Essence Blood was wiped out by the force of the True Martial Heavenly King.
Jack Clark said solemnly, “Vava, what level of resources am I currently able to mobilize?”
“Currently, General Clark, your authority has been elevated to that of a Councilor. You can mobilize all Federation resources including Law-level resources and browse the corresponding confidential information.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Jack Clark nodded in satisfaction; this was what he had fought so desperately for.
“Vava, gather crystals from within the Federation’s territory, equivalent to 400,000 merits, whether Level 1 or Level 9,” he commanded. This time he wanted to enhance all the talents of the Thunderflame Demon Dragon to the utmost, transforming them into laws.
Once the nine Higher-order Laws tempered his Mythical True Body, even if the Thunderflame Demon Dragon’s Growth Level remained at the Early Myth stage, its strength would reach a terrifying level.
Moreover, to quickly enhance his own strength, Jack Clark didn’t bother with the allocation quotas of these Life Crystals and forcibly gathered these resources.
“Vava, with the remaining 400,000 merits, help me exchange them all for God-level resources that will enhance the Innate Demon God True Body,” he instructed.
In response to Jack Clark’s command, the figure of a silver-haired girl with red eyes appeared on the wall, politely saying,
“General Clark, the amount of Life Crystals and God-level resources you requested to exchange is massive. I need to contact Roger and mobilize from the logistics of various base cities, which will take two days.”
Jack Clark’s expression remained calm as he said indifferently, “No problem, I can wait.”
The near-death experience from the curse had instilled a sense of acute crisis in Jack Clark. He needed to become stronger in a short period, powerful enough to ignore assassination attempts from the Purgatory Demon Race.
And taking hits without retaliating was not his style.
Once he breaks through to king-level, it would be the beginning of a nightmare for his enemies.
As Jack Clark sat cross-legged waiting, the small-scale transmission rune array beneath the left wall kept flickering, and boxes containing resources and Life Crystals continuously appeared.
